Seward is a city on the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska. It has a population of slightly over 3,000. It was named after William H. Seward, an early member of the United States Republican Party, and United States Secretary of State under President Abraham Lincoln. As Secretary of State, he pushed hard for the United States purchase of Alaska which he finally negotiated to acquire from Russia. Seward earns income as the seventh most lucrative fisheries port in the United States. Another major industry in Seward is tourism. Seward also maintains docking for cruise vessels and it controls the shipping terminal for coal from Usibelli. Of course, we were able to get a great tour of the area on some local cruise ships! We are now really getting into the spirit of Alaska! We are visiting Seward, Alaska and it's many attractions. Have a great time!

Fairbanks and Juneau are the next busiest airports. Anchorage traffic peaks during June, July and August when passenger numbers are twice as high as between October and April. Some of the most popular destinations in Alaska are: Anchorage, Denali Park, Fairbanks, Seward, and Talkeetna. We have placed links to Priceline.com on this page so you can arrange your flights into and out of the various places in Alaska; as well as hotels, and rental 4 wheel drive vehicles; when visiting this beautiful State. Priceline.com can also arrange very nice Alaska Cruises; which we highly recommend. Cruises are usually taken during the warm late spring through early fall seasons, due to the freezing temperatures of the winter.
